Stand structure can strongly influence forest growth and other processes, such as the water
balance, carbon partitioning, nutrient cycling and light dynamics. However, individual …

Forests are essential in regulating global carbon and water cycles and are critical in
mitigating climate change. Water-use efficiency, defined by the ratio of plant productivity per …

Traditionally, forest measurement textbooks have been concerned primarily with
determination of the amounts of the principal commercial product of forests, wood. This was …

The growth of wood in trees and forests depends on the acquisition of resources (light,
water, and nutrients), the efficiency of using resources for photosynthesis, and subsequent …

I have attempted to reach a wide range of readers, from those with no formal forestry
education through to forest scientists involved in research. This has meant dealing with …

Stand structural complexity and growth partitioning between different tree sizes influence
trees competition and resource use efficiency, and thus are closely linked to stand …

Forest resource use efficiencies (RUEs) can vary with tree age, but the nature of these
trends and their underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Understanding the age …

Silviculture focuses on establishing forest stand conditions that improve the stand increment.
Knowledge about the efficiency of an individual tree is essential to be able to establish stand …

Fertilization and irrigation may substantially increase productivity of forests by increasing
stand leaf area index and the efficiency of converting intercepted light into wood biomass …

Thinning, pruning and fertiliser application are important silvicultural interventions used to
grow solid-wood products from Eucalyptus plantations. These treatments are examined in …
